Read Proverbs 6:16-19  Wow!  This is a pretty awful list of sins!  This list here in Proverbs actually is famous.  It is called The Seven Deadly Sins.  And they are pretty deadly.  Some of these sins are sins that we do, like lying lips, hands that shed innocent blood, bearing false witness when you are supposed to be telling the truth, and feet that run to do mischief.  But then some of them are hard to see.  They are sins on the inside where only God and we know.  These others are sins of how we think, like a proud look and an evil heart.  But one sin on this list doesn't seem too awfully bad.  We may wonder why it is included in the list.  But it is.  And that tells me that Solomon and God thought that this sin was a particularly bad sin.  Otherwise it wouldn't be on this list.  That sin is sowing discord among the brethren.  When one person gets between friends and tries to break up their friendship, God thinks that sin is pretty bad.  To cause problems between friends, someone may tell a lie or they may reveal a secret to one friend that makes the other friend look bad.  They may try to get one friend against the other.  Usually gossip is used.  Gossip is talking about someone behind their back.  God thinks it is evil to try to break up a friendship, no matter how it is done.  Friends are a gift from God.  We should treasure our friendships and not let a wicked person say wicked things about our friends.  Trust is much better than gossip.
